Of course it does, but you still take the ball back to where it was fumbled if it is fourth down.

A forward fumble out of bounds is returned to the spot of the fumble regardless of the down AND if it is under 2 minutes, you wind the clock as well.

Are you implying if more than 2 minutes remain you go on the snap???

NCAA: Fwd fumble OOB, clock always on the ready
Fed: Any fumble OOB (fwd or bwd), clock always on the snap

Yes. My first thoughts after reading the first post.

I'm not implying anything.

I thought that it was obvious that if A retains possession we are winding any time the ball goes OOB above 2 minutes regardless if the fumble was forward or not...
